We're down doing late Xmas with the folks. We decide to do an after-dinner movie. Jenn and I are trying to choose the less violent film, between "No Country for Old Men," and "I Am Legend." After reading a few reviews, we lean to Will-i-am Smith.

We may have chosen wrong. Yah! Very intense. Better than I expected. But my violence-opposed wife was curled up in a ball or wrapped on my arm the whole time. (Hey, maybe I made the right choice after all...)

Not sure if there's a deeper message to the film, though. Other than mankind is hellbent on self-destruction. But heck, Leonard Cohen's been saying that for years.

What the hell...?

So for a lot of years, my day job was as a writer with the Ledger-Enquirer, a fine newspaper based in Columbus, Ga. Spent much of that as a music writer, and the rest of it writing about pop culture and culture at large. I won some awards and stuff. Whatever.
